can't tell from this, but will existing Postgres databases at Heroku be automatically upgraded, or do you need to provision a new instance and migrate the data?

- joevandyk 14y agoExisting databases won't be automatically upgraded. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/upgrade-heroku-postgres-with-pgbackups https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/upgrade-heroku-postgre... has information about the upgrade process.
- pvh 14y agoWe figure reliability of your database as one of our chief missions. To that end, we prefer not to do anything which could even remotely be a possible cause of operational issues. Since changing over to a new version is easy, we tend to let users do so at their leisure. That said, in the event of a major 0-day we could be forced to migrate people, but it hasn't happened yet.
